Seeing that
a) Penetration drops off at long range
b) Maus has at least 200mm of armour no matter how you slice it
c) Penetration rolls are notoriously on the low side just when you need a shell to penetrate

Yeah.

It's not all that uncommon. My T30 suffers from a similar problem. (Bouncing 7 times is my record.)


EDIT: Was just taking out my T-50-2 for a spin. The result?

How does t-50-2 gun work 1, normally i see them zop through the field and die.
I also wondering T-150 worth getting or not cause I fully researched my KV-1 and got my IS already

The T-50-2 can mount either the auto-cannon (which I never use) or the 57mm ZiS-4, the same gun you can find on the T-34 and KV-1. Those T-50-2 zipping forward and dying is really just wasting the potential of the tank, given that you will only light up the enemies once. And that's ignoring the fact that in the mid-late game, you can break through holes in the line to hunt for arty.

To truly shine as a scout, you must know when to hang back and when to zoom zoom forward.

EDIT: If you working towards the KV-3 line as well, then go for it. Otherwise, no real need. The T-150 is just an uparmoured and upgunned version of the KV-1. Plays almost exactly the same.

Unlocked my 59-16 today... gonna enjoy scouting now

proper play scout is a threat to enemy, but there are too few good scout at this server. or most tank only sit 'sniping' at 400-500 meters away when light tank light up the target, making non effective damage to enemy

once i team up with T50-2 and Vk2801 from PVP and PVE, at 2 different matches. both of them manage to get 3.5k spotting damage

and hell a lot of player duno their tank role as scout tank, keep complain why i team at tier 7,8,9 matches....

got in-game chat ban

trolling the general chat

just suddenly lag spike and people are complaining the lag

i go in and say "lets burn the WG Asean server, i bring the pitchfork"

boom! chat ban from AALG for 7 days

I faced almost familiar person like that today...

So lag one today and this server is full of noob drivers , better burn down the server

Today is not a good day. I keep being thrown in the worst teams. Extreme lemming train and when I ask for help, ignored. Then I'm the last to die. Excellent.

Sounds like the daily quality of teams on SEA. Not only today.

if the contrary were to happen, i fear it is the end of the world for this SEA server

dude, not today, everyday also happen. low tier high tier no different... even at tier 10 battles, they are saying: we follow IS7

when there is events, many noobies will login to server, like today WG hunting, 5x first victory of day, 3x crew experience, forget to mention at weekend, number of noobs also increasing, i always in lose streak during weekend

some really funny go tank company chn to ask them close tank company, accusing tank company making server lag

IS-8 has decent mobility and a good gun.

ST-1 has... well, good armour? Rofl.

Could say that IS-8 is a balanced all rounder as well , good mobility , good gun , low profile tank and bouncy sloped armor at the front.

I got a strange question, sometimes i get a good match and tons of exp, but when i compare both the exp from the main page and the team page the values are different

Sniper medal , extra exp event ... i think

except the armor......
even a tier 6 tank have the ability to pen its front armor
the balance all rounder goes to M103

Tier 6? You're just exaggerating.

I'm pretty sure even my T-44 cannot penetrate it frontally. Same tier and (better) tier 8 guns? Yes, definitely.

IS-8 strength is the mobility and the gun accuracy

i got 82.8% hit ratio on it in , better than all my TD

the strength is get to some choke point fastest and hold for other HT to come and help you

Starting from IS-3 , the gun is quite accurate , got off a few sniper medals from it , but I'd prefer sniping with a german tank.
